Activity and Status

This week has been a collection of highs and lows. I spent Wednesday and Thursday nights watching 3 episodes of the Blacklist (Season 1).

The Blacklist is a fun little show set in a parallel universe that is just over the top, full of massive quantities of plot armor, and secret agent magic.
For example, there’s a minor sub-character who showed up in a the middle of an episode, , just so that they could be killed.
It was too random to be anything other than funny.

Got up at 6am this morning, I’ve got to start journaling and managing my time.

Journaling around journaling

I’ve been using these posts to journal, but I really need pen and paper, at a desk to just sit down and write for 20 minutes. I’ve got my heroes journal, but I don’t know if I’m going to use that. It will help to keep my A+ Recert quest front and center, so that might be the right place for me to journal.

There’s been a few journals platforms since 2002, but “my journals” are 7 spiral notebooks I kept from 1982 – 2002.
There’s some stuff on livejournal around 1998 – 2002 time frame
I’ve got one journal that’s not spiral bound, but it is wire bound, black, half-sized with “board” covers.
There my morning pages journal; it’s got a red cover. Did that around 2010. The morning pages journal is just a mind dump.
I’ve also got morning pages in Scrivener from around 2012.
Then there is my “The 5 minute Journal” – the first one goes from 2015 – 2019. Which goes to my lack of consistency. T5MJ should only last 6 months.

I started bullet journalling in 2019, and those have been a bit hit or miss.
My bullet journals I use everyday, and they are a useful mindfulness practice, but I don’t count them as “journaling.”
It mostly acts as a capture system for my life, not a digestive system.
I’m not using my bullet journals as a place to reflect. Maybe I’m using it wrong.
